sullivan's London Reception.

According to the cable dispatches the re-
ception which the Boston slugger, John L.
Sullivan, received on his arrival in London
was far greater than that received by Gen.
Grant when he made his celebrated tour
around the world, or that which was given to
any one of the members of the royal fami-
lies of Europe on the occasion of the Queens
jubilee celebration. The great depot at the
station was so crowded with people that it
was impossible, for quite a long time, for
the members of the Sullivan party to get
out of their car. The crowd was good ma
tured but enthusiastic. The police tried
to force the people out of the
depot, or at least to open way for pas
sengers to get to and from the trains, but
they found it impossible to do So Sullivan
himself had to undertake TO force passage
for his party from his car to his carriage,
and he succeeded in doing so only afttr a
long struggle. The people followed him to
his hotel and blocked up the street in front
of it. The only way the police could get
the street cleared for traffic was to beg Sui
Ivan to make his appearance at the window
of his room and request the people to go
away.
Jay Gould has attracted comparatively
little attention abroad. With all of his
millions he is far less important person in
the eyes of vast majority of Englishmen
than the famous slugger. He has moved
about just as he pleased, without being dis
turbed either by an enthusiastic or a gaping
| crowd
OF course the great majority of those
who express such admiration for Sullivan
in England are the lower classes, but not a
few of them belong to the most cultivated
and exclusive class. Is it Sullivans strength
they admire, or his skill as a prize fighter?
Englishmen are very great admirers of
pluck and strength, and Sullivan has both
It seems rather remarkable, however, in
this day of advanced civilization that a
| prize fighter should command more atten-
ton in the largest city Of the world than
the greatest soldier, statesman, or scientist.
There was no great desire among the
masses to see Blaine, although he has been
a famous man for nearly twenty years, and
| it is doubtful if the President were to ap-
pear suddenly in London there would be
anywhere near the crowd to greet and well
come him as there was to cheer Sullivan.

The Farmers Seventy Years.

From the Hartford Times.
All! there he is, lad, at the pillow;
He beats the boys for work,
And whatsoever the task might be,
None ever saw him shirk.
And he can laugh, too till his eyes
Run DER with mirthful tears,
And sing full many an old-time song,
In spite of seventy years.
Good morning, friends! it's twelve o'clock;
Time for half hours rest"
And farmer John took out his lunch
And ate it with zest.
"A harder task IL is, said he,
Than following up these steers,
Or mending fences, far, for me
To feel my seventy years.
''You ask me why feel so young;
I'm sure, friends, l can't tell.
But think it is my good wife's fault,
Who kept me up so well;
For women such as she are scarce
In this poor vale of tears
She's given nue. love, and hope and strength,
For more than forty years.
sand then my boys have all done we'll,
AS far as they have gone.
And that thing warns an old mans blood,
And helps him up and on;
My girls have never caused a panS,
Or raised up anxious fears;
Then wonder not that feel young
And hale at seventy years.
''Why don't my good boys do my work
And let me sit and restS
All! friends, that wouldn't do for me;
l like my own way best.
They have their duty; have mine,
And till the end appears,
mean to smell the soil, my friends"
Said the man of seventy years.

A Good Example.

Mr.. Fl. c. Hanson has set an example in
reducing the Columbus Enquirer-Sun from
an eight to a four-page paper which might
be followed with advantage by a number
of other newspaper proprietors. 1t re-
quired some nerve to make the reduction,
but it showed good business sense. A city
of 1900 to $4,000 people can't support a
paper of the same size and class as one
of from 10000 to 10000. A newspaper
can't live ON the desire of some of the
people of the town in which it is published
to have "big paper and all the news" to
support which they contribute little or
nothing. The people of Columbus and the
owners of the EnQuirer-Sltn will lose moth
ing by the change which has been made in
that paper.

In Search of q Jewsharp.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.


Cal Thomas, who always has a good story to
tell, has this one on Platt Evans, suffering
joker, who was one of the early pioneers of
Cincinnati: I'm early days." says Cal. lit used
to be thought capital fun to send a countryman
from store to store inquiring for the things he
would be certain not to find at the places to
which he was sent. One day fellow came as
he had been directed to Platts store to buy
jewsharp. Plat was a merchant tailor. He was
busy with a customer as the man appeared but,
observing that several of the boys had dropped
in at the door just to see what Plat would do he
caught on at once, and responded to the in
quiry for the musical instrument, 'W-w-wait a
minute, Having served his customer, he picked
up a pair of glove-stretchers and approached
the rural methodist with 'L-llet me m-measure
your m-m-mouth,' and introducing the stretch
ers, manipulated them so as to transform the
aperture into horizontal yawn, awful to see
and capacious enough to bold dozen Jews
harps. Removing the apparatus, he examined
it carefully and deliberately, as might scrut-
inize a thermometer or pocket compass, and
then dismissed the unsuccessful hunter for
jewsharps, as he said in tone of wellfeigned
disappointment, 'Ww--we hain't g-S-got any

The new repeating rifle had hardly been
put in the hands of the German soldiers
when it was discovered TO be so greatly in
ferior to that adopted by other nations, that
another change was decided upon. Now
tho gun factories are working night and
day to rearm the troops as soon as possible.
The new rifle is said TO compare favorably
with the French Lebel. The rivalry be-
tween European nations must at no distant
day break out in war, which may involve
most of the civilized world, and in the mean
time, in the search for the most perfect
death-inhicting appliances, they are loading
themselves with debt. The condition OF
affairs is a reproach to civilization.

A CRUEL POLICEMAN.
A Vacancy Under Official Buttons
Where q Heart Ought to Be-
From the Detroit Tribune.


From the Detroit Tribune.
1t was long past midnight and the stiffness
was broken only by the measured tread of a
policeman in the distance. Occasionally there
would be pause in the step and the sharp rat
tie of somebody's door would sound forth evil
dence that the faithful guardian of the peace
was keeping a faithful watch over the locks and
bolts which protect the law-abding citizens
within from the proving marauder. The step
advanced, and presently the stalwart figure of
the blue coat emerged from the shadow into the
glare Of an electric light. He paused and gazed
earnestly up the street. for il was time to expect
the roundsman on his tour OF inspection. All,
there is a sudden blaze of light in an upstairs
window across the way. small hand holds
back the curtain and an anxious female face
peers out. Presently it disappears, and the
officer walks leisurely across the street and
takes up position under the windows Again
the curtain flies back and the flush face reap
pears "Ah, Charley, | thought you'd never
come, =" came down from the window in loud
whisper.
lin allus on deck responded the police
man. II thought you'd oversight yourself.
Look out for the satchel," and dark object
suspended on cord twirled toward the ground
Presently the voice in the window whispered,

"WellY"
''Look the other way"
What fer?"
why, you ninny, I'm coming down the
rope"
The policeman then moved ont of the shadow
See here, young woman, you'd better yank
that grip sack up there before | ring the bell
and put your pa ON to your caper. If that Char
ley O yours shows up on this corner I'll run him
into the box"
The curtain dropped and the window was sud
denly engulfed in gloom, and the policeman re-
sumed his beat in the happy consciousness that
an elopement had been frustrated.

New Railway Mileage,

Two months ago the MORNING News re-
printed figures from the Rail,Oay Age show
ing the great activity in railroad construc-
ton during the earlier months of the year.
The last number of that periodical, just
received, brings down the account to Nov. /.
In ten months 8, 40S miles have been built, a
record surprising even that of the remark
able year 1882, when for twelve months the
construction was II ,569 miles. This indi-
Gates that during 1887 at least 1900 miles
of new road will be put in operation, an
expansion greater by more than 1000 miles
than in any previous year, except 1882
One remarkable fact connected with this
great activity is that so large a proportion
of the building is induced by the fierce
rivalry between four great railway sys-
TENS in the far West. no less than 3,40O
miles of new road having been constructed
by four companies whose lines extend west
of the Missouri river, while more than half
of all laid was in Kansas, Nebraska, Texas
and Colorado 1913 miles.
Some of the Southern States, however. show
also a very considerable activity. In Ala
bama 317 miles of new road were built, in
Georgia 2l9, and in Florida a. The indica-
tions are that the present rapid rate of con-
struction will continue next year, but that
will Of course depend in a large meas
ure upon the continued prosperity of the
country and the state of the money market.

Senator Morgan has returned to Mont
gomery after a speaking tour, and is in a
cheerful frame of mind. Any attempt to
Mahonize the State on the tariff issue will
fail, he is certain, as Democrats who are in
clined to protection will not desert the
party. Gen. Morgan is an earnest advocate
of tariff reform and one of the strongest
men in Congress from the South. His re-
election is assured, in spite of the timid OPP
position Of certain journals in the upper
part of the State who want the present tax
abuses to continue.

Hugo Anecdotes That Are Plausible.
From the Pail Mau Gazette.

In spite of NJ. Sarcey's denial, there is a good
deal of priorf likelihood in one of the anecdotes
of Victor Hugo published in NJ Pavlosky' 8
"reminiscences of Turgenieff Hugo is said to
have declared ''Wallenstein" to be Goethe's
greatest work, and, when corrected by Turge-
nieff to have replied that he had read neither
Goethe nor Schiller, but knew them better than
those who had their works by heart. This so
is difficult to doubt it: and Mr.. Swinburne
would probably defend his hero by explaining
that IL does not in the least matter who wrote
this or that in so barbarous tongue as German.
NJ. Pavlosly's second anecdote we may fairly
disbelieve. 1t is to the effect that when some
Hugolater suggested that the street in which he
lived should be called by his name. another out
babe him by crying: Not street alone but all
Paris should be called after him." whereupon
the master remarked: That will come in time ~

Sentiment Better than Cankering Hate

Gen. Jackson who made the lost cause"
speech in Georgia, is said to be poet. His
sympathies were touched and his heart over
flowed with tender memories in the presence of
Jefferson Davis and he gave utterance to many
OF them, including some exploded theories of
government. We may well believe this, and we
may also feel that such manifestation is not
matter to make great fuss about. 1t is far
better, in fact, than to have a heart into which
the canker of hate is eating, or a soul so small
as to see in these effusions of sentiment nothing
but material for party capital. futile and For

The Amendment.

Judge RHEA's amendment was defeated
yrstcrday-not so much perhaps beclu~e II
provided for repudiating all OF the State
debt which might remain uniunded after
certain date, as because the threat was
seen TO be nothing but threat. The
amendment was to be added TO the Consti-
tuition within a year or eighteen months,
and vet was based on the theory that IL
couldn't be taken out OF the Constitution
before the State bonds became due during
The next century. THIS is the only obiec-
ton that we have ever raised to Judge
RHEA's amendment namely, that 1t was
little more than an act Of Assembly. The
one can he repealed at any time when the
Legislature is in session. The other can
be repealed only by the action OF two sue
cessiye Legislatures. Let it alone. Long
before 1906 our debt troubles will be over.
we trust that the action OF the Senate on
the RBEA amendment will not mislead the
bondholders into the belief that their claims
stand any chauce OF being recognized. On
the contrary, they ought to accept the action
OF the Senate IS clearly indicating that no
halfway measures are TO be resorted to,
but that a calm, courageous determination
10 protect the State by iustifable methods
ia what caused the defeat OF the RHEA
amendment. II is The worst OF omens for
the bondholders. Let them profit by 1t.
